Abstract

A bracket includes a U-shaped element, two collars and two nuts. The U-shaped element includes an arched section formed between two branches. The arched section of the U-shaped element is attached to a mudguard. The collars are respectively secured to the branches of the U-shaped element. The collars are operable to receive two sections of a skewer. The nuts are operable for engagement with two threaded sections of the skewer.
